Scientists using a new and highly precise dating technique have concluded that the late Cretaceous asteroid strike in Mexico Yucatan Peninsula coincided almost exactly with the extinction of the dinosaurs 鈥?give-or-take a few tens of thousands of years. While it clear that other factors were contributing to the rapidly deteriorating environmental conditions, it stanley cup 8217 now obvious that the asteroid was the final coup-de-grace for the dinosaurs. Indeed, all was not well on Earth when the asteroid struck. Volcanoes in India were wreaking havoc to the planet ecosystems, and earlier asteroid strikes may have contributed to an already fragile environment. Other research shows that Earth experienced six abrupt temperature shifts of two degrees or more in mean temperatures in the one million years before the impact. In one instance, the temperature swung 6-8 degrees. More evidence that volcanoes killed the dinosaurs These factors left doubt in the minds of some researchers, who wondered what it was, exactly, that truly caused the dinosaurs to go extinct.

It incredibly difficult to surmise what might have pushed one American sergeant to allegedly massacre 16 Afghan civilians. But new details about the still-unnamed staff sergeant background suggest that brain damage, wrought by a traumatic brain injury during an earlier deployment, might have been a contributing factor.

Sleeping isn ;t just about refreshing us for the day ahead. It also has a more long-term impact on our health.

That the finding of researcher stanley canada s at UC Berkeley, who found a number of dramatic stress-related transformations take place in our brain when we enter REM sleep. stanley mugg Dreaming effectively functions as a way for the brain to process painful memories and systematically take the edge off them. While it obviously can ;t erase our traumas, it appears that such deep sleep does have some serious anti-stress benefits. Researcher Matthew Walker explains: The dream stage of sleep, based on its unique neurochemical composition, provides us with a form of overnight therapy, a soothing balm that removes the sharp edges from the prior day emotional experiences. However, it appears that sufferers of post-traum stanley spain atic stress disorder no longer fully benefit from this process. This may be because the psychological scars are so deep and can be so easily triggered by everyday events say, a loud noise like a car backfiring that the entire experience remains too visceral to be stripped away during REM sleep. This research is some of our first clear insight into the emotional effects of REM sleep, which is a deep state of slumber in which we spend about a fifth of our time asleep.
